چکیده

background: the incidence of allergic and asthmatic diseases has been continuously increased in both industrial and developing countries. extracts from various known allergens are used for the diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. objective: to investigate the effects of an extract prepared from chenopodium album (ch.a.) pollen to induce allergic asthma in balb/c mice. methods: balb/c mice were sensitized by i.p. injection of ch.a. extract and alum, and an intratracheal instillation of the extract. the bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) fluids were obtained by cannulating the trachea and lavaging the lungs and examined for eosinophilia. splenocytes were incubated with ch.a. extract and cell supernatants were examined for il-4 and il-5 by elisa. results: we demonstrated that ch.a. extract treatment in mice increased serum levels of specific ige and production of il-4 and il-5 from splenocytes. an airway eosinophilia was also demonstrated in mice. conclusion: these results suggest that ch.a. allergen extract is a potential agent in inducing characteristics of allergic asthma in a mouse model useful in investigational studies.

Co-administration of CpG oligonucleotides and chenopodium album extract reverse IgG2a/IgG1 ratios and increase IFN-gamma and IL-10 productions in a murine model of asthma.

Asthma is a disorder of increasing severity and prevalence. Recent knowledge about the pathogenesis of asthma emphasizes its inflammatory nature. CpG oligonucleotides are a class of compounds containing motifs based on the cytosine-guanine dinucleotides (CpG-ODNs). These motifs are suppressed in mammalian DNA. They induce inflammation in mammals characterized by the induction of T helper type 1...

the comparison of conventional and w.h.o. methods for protein determination of chenopodium album allergenic extract

in present study different protein measurement methods are evaluated on the allergenic extract of chenopodium album pollen, which was previously prepared in our laboratory and applied in skin prick testing in comparison with a commer¬cial extract. the protein content of similar amounts of these two extracts which had caused similar skin reactions were measured with different protein assays such...

Immunotherapy of Chenopodium Album Induced Asthma by Intranasal Administration of CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides in BALB/c Mice

Background: There are many therapeutic methods for allergic conditions. CpG oli-gonucleotides play a critical role in immunity via the augmentation of Th1 and suppres-sion of Th2 responses. Objective: In the present study we aimed to estimate the effec-tiveness of intranasal administration of CpG ODN plus Chenopodium album allergen in allergic asthma compared with the administration of allergen...

Expression of VPAC1 in a murine model of allergic asthma

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a putative neurotransmitter of the inhibitory non-adrenergic non-cholinergic nervous system and influences the mammalian airway function in various ways. Hence known for bronchodilatory, immunomodulatory and mucus secretion modulating effects by interacting with the VIP receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2, it is discussed to be a promising target for pharmaceuti...
